Jeff Bezos e Lauren Sánchez, al matrimonio a Venezia 250 invitati in arrivo con 90 jet privati diversi. I vip alle nozze e i costi dell'evento

Article is in italian I couldn't find any news about this in english but i believe it's really important to share.

"Sono attesi dagli 80 ai 90 aerei all’aeroporto Marco Polo di Venezia. Jet privati da Los Angeles, New York, Londra e Dubai scaricheranno in laguna un carico scintillante di star, imprenditori, supermodelle, influencer e tycoon. Il traffico aereo privato sarà talmente intenso da richiedere un coordinamento speciale tra l'aeroporto di Venezia e gli scali di riserva a Verona e Treviso. "

Translation:

"80 to 90 planes are expected at Venice's Marco Polo airport. Private jets from Los Angeles, New York, London and Dubai will unload a glittering cargo of stars, entrepreneurs, supermodels, influencers and tycoons into the lagoon. Private air traffic will be so intense that it will require special coordination between Venice airport and the reserve stopovers in Verona and Treviso. "

But hey, we should do the right thing, save the environment and buy his ev truck!
- Don't forget to turn off the lights (those LED lights that consumes practically nothing), and recycle (but forget that recycling companies do not actually recycle anything).
  As for that EV, it seems an easy way to shame poor people who cannot afford it.
  Every time, this world feels like a big joke. Once I retire, I'll get a cabin in the woods and forget about all this.
  
  I’ll get a cabin in the woods and forget about all this.
  Enjoy the uncontrolled wildfires. There's no escaping the damaging effects of capitalism.
  
  Poor people are who should use EVs the most. They have been on the market for 15 years now, you can get dirt cheap older models. Bolt, eGolf, Zoe or Leaf can be had for under 5k. Cheaper to power, cheaper to maintain, cheaper to run. Plus more convenient and fun, subjectively.
  Also recycling is part of "reduce, reuse, recycle", which not only can help "save the planet", it will definitely and immediately save your wallet. Even if someone supposed to do the recycling, doesn't.
- It's not his truck, he was a series A funder among many. The CEO of Slate is a woman with an idea.
  
  Them: "Save the planet!"
  Bezos: "... and redeem it for valuable prizes!"
  
  A woman with an idea who took funding from bezos.
  Her choice.
  My choice is to not have anything to do with bezos, as much as I humanly can. And that includes not buying products he will profit from.
- Sucks that a small frame single cab pickup truck has to comeback under Bezos, because it is the perfect example of a sane size and price truck, but being attached to Bezos and electric only kills it for me. I was super interested until I did research on the company. I really wish they’d bring back the tiny (by today’s standards) Toyota trucks with the full size bed. Like the mid 90s Tacoma with no lift
  
  My first car was a Toyota Tacoma. I miss that thing. The bed was low so you didn’t have to kill your back, too.
  And for all those “I use it for my job” types, they’d have more use out of a freaking transit connect.
  When SUVs became “family vehicles”, instead of the dick-compensation-machines, marketing said “ahah! Big trucks!” And now big trucks are the dick compensation machines.
- Wait he has an ev truck now too?? Is this part of the douchebag checklist? Space company, ev truck, …
  
  He funds slate.
  The thing seems designed to be repairable.
  
  So that if Trump goes after 4 years and is replaced back by a democrat he is going to turn back to democrat voters and tell them "look I sent women to space, I am super into environmental issues and I actually was a big fan of DEI so I am implementing them back again". For him it is just hedging bets.
We need a French solution to the billionaire problem.

  Don't forgot the horse drawn....person
  
  It was the British that sent their criminals to Australia.
  _/s
- They all gathered together for this. The British Guy Fawkes may have had a better solution.
looks down at paper straw dissolving in glass of water
- This is exactly why I don't feel guilt about my statistically insignificant contribution towards climate change.
- I wonder how many jet flights do a single year of collective paper straw using offsets
  
  according to this wiki article, over its lifetime a plastic straw will release 1,46 grams of CO2, while a paper straw will release 1,38 grams of CO2. that’s a saving of 0,08 grams.
  and according to this article, a private jet releases 4,9 kilograms of CO2 per mile.
  so: assuming you are using one straw per day, a year of using paper straws instead of plastic straws offsets about 0,006 miles of one private jet, or a bit more than 10 meters.
  that’s fun.
  
  Well, a quick Google search says billions of straws are used every day.
  A straw seemingly cointans 0.42 grams of plastic.
  So by using paper straws, assuming just 1 billion straws a day, we save 420 million grams (420 tons) of plastic.
  Assuming it takes the same amount of oil to create a kg of plastic and a kg of fuel, that is 420 tons of fuel a day, just over 150k tons of fuel a year.
  An average private jet has a capacity of around 20 tons of fuel (looked up G650 on Wikipedia).
  So, the global paper straw usage offsets at least 7500 private jet flights. More if we use more than a billion straws, and more if we assume a jet doesn't fully burn 100% of the tank on every flight.
  
  Id estimate something in the regions of 0
  
  More importantly: what's the carbon footprint of an anti air missile?
  
  Probably enough to cover just starting the engines
It would be a shame if something were to happen to so many billionaires gathered conspicuously in one place on a very publicized date
- That’s why they picked Italy, Italy loves fascism
  
  but it's also the land of many Luigis, so there's hope
  
  Italy is also home of the people who responded to that regime by dragging Mussolini and his wife's bodies after their assassination across the country back to Milan, where they were unceremoniously dumped in a town square to be humiliated and desecrated, then hung on girders above a service station in the square by their ankles until they fell and subsequently were buried in unmarked graves.
- Skyrim something about Vici.
- dont give me ideas...
  
  Use dots of different color nail polish to color code keys!
unload a glittering cargo of stars, entrepreneurs, supermodels, influencers and tycoons into the lagoon
If only that were literally true
I’ve never hoped so hard for a natural disaster
- I understand your feeling but keep in mind that many people live in Venice. Some of them are organizing against the event, it's not fair to wish for a natural disaster.
  
  A highly selective natural disaster maybe.
  
  It’s not fair for jeff bezos and his band of cronies to exist either. Sometimes the world is unfair. At least in my example the unfairness would be swift and would overwhelmingly result in a net positive for humanity
  
  If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
- Wishing is illegal
Now that’s what I call a target rich environment
- We need you Luigi
  
  Send more blue shells
90 private jets polluting the planet just to see one rich asshole say ”I do”.
- I bet there's an open bar aswell.
- "I do*"
If I wasn't already boycotting amazon, I'd start now.
Maybe we will get lucky and some/all will fall into the canals and drown.
I mean she looks and her name sounds hispanic. Shouldn't she be sent to El Salvador? /s
- That only applies to the poors.
  
  My bad, forgot to mention that..
Oh they are kettling themselves. It would be a shame if something happened to all of them simultaneously
Tells you how much more style the rich used to have. What good are all those billions today if the place where you live is not as pretty as Venice? Nobody is going to visit his house in Florida in 100 years.
This is where God gets to prove he's real, and he's on the side of the people. If it's true, Venice will finally sink into the sea and become a legend, like Atlantis.
If that happens, I'll finally go to church every Sunday. Hear me God? That's what it will take.
- If the richs die from the hand of heaven I'll be the first preacher
- It will be sad for all the art and historical artifacts. But (the) god(s) can make the funniest entertainment for them and the world
- I'll go with you.
  I'm still going to want to have a hard talk with God about why She allows cancer babies and such...
Won't someone rid me of these pesky Sociopathic Oligarchs?
🤮
I bet you none those flight will crash. So why do our flights get to crash?
- One can only hope
  
  God willing there'll be a few more to add to those statistics soon.
Good luck, 47.
- If only.
All the Sociopathic Oligarchs in the same place at once? Look, I'd normally be against this sort of thing, but if someone wants to drop a nuke on Venice, I could excuse it just this once.
Flight Radar 24 will busy.
"INTO the lagoon", you say? Promise?
- I'll bring the sandbags, you bring the ropes.
I give them a year.
Mario Bros. Theme
Well that sounds efficient.
I saw a trailer for a movie if you stop walking you die and if there's two people left they fight, winner gets money's or a wish or something. Anyways we should do that to rich people and winner gets a pizza party, we just keep the money and do helpful stuff.
- Richard Bachman’s (Stephen King) The Long Walk?
  
  I believe so, I saw a trailer of it I'm not sure when.
  
  The book was pretty good, at least when i read it as a teenager. Don't know if i'd like it now
- They shoot horses don’t they?
He will cheat on her while she does the pool boy. It's the new/old thing for the rich.
- "I'm not super familiar with the lifestyles of the rich and famous. What, exactly, does a pool boy even do?"
  "Uhhhh... The wife."
I got an idea, lets empty venice temporarily and turn this all into battle royale. Lets see how many seconds does it take Jeff to sell Lauren out for a gun.
Gross
Hey uhh Mysterio if you wanna attack Venice now is the time.
Interesting. This one have more information about protests and many comments ( also in italian ) https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2025/06/14/venezia-protesta-nozze-bezos-brugnaro-zaia-ultime-notizie/8025608/
Mrs Merton: What was it that first attracted you to ~~millionaire Paul Daniels~~ billionaire Jeff Bezos?
We need to do more above ground nuke tests. I can think of a place right now.
It's simple, don't use Amazon.
- Sadly, they make a ton of money from AWS (amazon web services). A large portion of the internet relies on it. It's difficult or impossible to avoid using any amazon services. Like, you use a website and their backend uses s3 and rds. No way for you to know, much of the time.
  I avoid shopping on amazon anyway, but the problem is wider spread.
  
  Yeah I know.. I heard they even make more money with AWS than with traditional sales. It's just outrageous how the US could let the development of such monopolies happen.
Shoot them all down
Headlines like this are a good reminder that, except for your local surroundings, you're basically powerless change anything meaningful.
And why is it important? A bunch of posh billionaires gather in one place to... whatever they do on such gatherings.
If there was a bomb... That'll be a completely different thing. But there is no bomb, just a bunch of billionaires and prostitutes.
- And why is it important?
  Venice's major and italian authorities are using the argument that this event will bring a lot of money in the country to justify it. News like this are evidence of the damage these people are actually creating. 90 private jets for 250 guests is one of the most ridiculous rich people stunt i've ever seen, i think it's important to share to let people aware of this shit happening.
  
  90 private jets for 250 guests
  It means they are not friends. If you have a big jet, why would you not fly with other guests and already have a good time on the way to Venice?
  
  Ba ba but you have to use paper straws for the enviroment
- Using the world’s resources at a rate that does nothing for anyone but their fat need for liesure and pomp.
- 90 jets just for 250 guests mean a fucktons of co2 being emitted needlessly.
  
  Just to set this in relation, the transatlantic roundtrips of those jets are the equivalent to 540000000 questions to deepseek r1, or 1710000000 questions to quen 2.5. for quen, that means to ask about 36 questions per minute.
  for the next 90 years.
  
  Continue...
- Because the rich and powerful set the example that the rest of the population wants to imitate. If the elite travels around blowing pollution, the rest of the population will do the same.
- I hope you aren't attempting to equate sex work / prostitution / escort with billionaires, they are quite different in expertise.
  
  I said billionaires and prostitutes as billionaires escorted by prostitutes.
